I have great pleasure in promoting a not-for-profit sale of good distance-based pigeons which will benefit hundreds of local kids over many years to come. Please click here to view a slideshow containing details of the young birds with all sale profits going towards the funding of a new play area at a pre-school in Hampshire.

Full details about the sale and eight pictures of the typically dark/velvet 'Southwell' pigeons from which the youngsters will be bred, can be found in the slideshow.

Don't expect these pigeons to score as YBs or in sprint racing as Yearlings ... buy these with the future in mind ... anything they do before their 2yo days will be a real bonus. Very limited numbers are available and, at the prices listed, they should go quickly.

Southwells are rarely advertised for sale ... the reason being that those who have them like to keep them! Whenever Southwells are advertised you can expect them to be priced at £40+ each! So, don't delay if these YBs are of interest to you! You're assured of an absolute bargain whilst helping towards a very good cause!

Contact details for Jim and Sheryl, the fanciers offering these birds, can be found in the slideshow, or you can contact Elimar Pigeon Services who will forward your interest to them immediately.
